Gravel in My Throat (take two)

Mmm-mmm

Ksh, ksh, doom

(yeah)

Red dirt on my boots

Dust in my teeth when I breathe that truth

Front porch lean with a jaw full of rage

Bible in the dash, got a ghost in the gauge

Click-clack tongue like a steel jaw trap

Boot heel stomp, that’s the thunderclap

Spit that gravel, taste that fear

Every little whisper like a howl in my ear (woo)

Gravel in my throat, let it grind, let it choke

I’m a shadow on the road where the prayers went broke

Hmm-mmm, hmm-mmm, I hum like a hive

Beat on my chest just to know I'm alive

Pah-tah, pah-tah, that’s the sound of my past

Chain on the mud fence rattling last

Gravel in my throat, let it scrape, let it slide

If the devil wanna ride, tell him sit outside (hah)

Crickets in the ditch sing background pain

Dog bark echo in the cracked windowpane

I talk in growls, I laugh in knots

Every word I say got barbed-wire thoughts

Brrt-tkt, brrt-tkt, lip smack drum

Heart say run, but my pride play dumb

Cornfield hush when my name gets said

Even my echo keep ducking my head (shh)

Gravel in my throat, let it grind, let it choke

I’m a shadow on the road where the prayers went broke

Hmm-mmm, hmm-mmm, I hum like a hive

Beat on my chest just to know I'm alive

Pah-tah, pah-tah, that’s the sound of my past

Chain on the mud fence rattling last

Gravel in my throat, let it scrape, let it slide

If the devil wanna ride, tell him sit outside

Breath in static, breath out smoke

Name in the dirt like a half-told joke

Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm, low in my gut

Every little scar say “don’t give up” (nah)

Gravel in my throat, let it grind, let it choke

I’m a shadow on the road where the prayers went broke

Hmm-mmm, hmm-mmm, I hum like a hive

Beat on my chest just to know I'm alive

Pah-tah, pah-tah, that’s the sound of my past

Chain on the mud fence rattling last

Gravel in my throat, let it scrape, let it slide

If the devil wanna ride, tell him walk beside (walk beside)
